This indicates you have only 8 colors, not 16.
I based the 16 colors on the documentation for the console; it might
be that there is some switch one can flip for more.

Doing TRT with just 8 colors is a tough nut, since there are 11
file types for which Eshell uses colors. Maybe colors should be
disabled for such terminals? Or maybe some faces should have no
color definitions for 8-color terminals, leaving only the most
frequent and important files shown in color?
I think the later would make most sense. What would a good criteria
be for frequet/important? In my mind, I'd like to know first and for
most if a file is a plain file, directory, symlink or special. Then,
if it is executable -- to know if ./foo will work.
After that, I think it is mostly nice things, being able to know if a
file is missing, unreadable, or readonly is useful information since
that means you know what happens if you open the file.
This is slightly different thant for archives, since Emacs will switch
to whatever mode the file suffix is anyway for any file, and archives
aren't "that" special.
Lastly, not showing backup/junk/product files in a highly contrasted
color.
Does that make sense? That would make the list of faces for 8 color
(though this would require to modify the scheme slightly):
plain
directory
symlink
special
executable
readonly / unreadable/ missing
backup / product / clutter
So maybe just limit it to the plain / directory / symlink / special /
executable group?
